That's a beautiful piece of work, if I may make a couple of suggestions:

- chamfer all exposed 90 degree angles

- shrinkwrap the whole thing so it is protected from the weather and dirt

- add a connection at the top of the motor frame to the bike to better deal with the reaction forces

Thank you! A better (more solid) connection between the kit and the frame would be on the top of my priority list, if I were to build it again.

Keep an eye on those bolts, they're right next to the shaft where shear forces are huge and from the looks of it they are only M6. You may want to use a harder grade to reduce the chances of them being sheared off.
